It is not a matter of ignoring the preposition. It is a question of what
is necessary to commuicate the same idea in English.
Great. And how do you know the idea, if you ignore the grammar?
le indicates a change of state.
oh-oh. That is a kind of very remote. le is dative, pure and simple.
In English the prepositioin would be necessary if we were to say, "The man changed into a living soul." The preposition is not needed with the verb "became."
Well, now that is a circular assumption. You say, essentially, "if the verb is 'became' with no preposition, then the preposition is unnecessary in English."
The Hebrew text is there for everyone to see: would become or exist something in dative.
Shall we discuss any other examples of the Tanakh using le for an ablative? Are you able to bring forward any such examples?
